Mebee this is all about aliens.

The numbers indicated decibels relative to Z. Too mathy for me, sorry. 55 dbz means mild hail.

I don’t know, kind of weird. I am intrigued by 2 new maps to add to my maps that I find fascinating.

Decibels (dB) are measured on a logarithmic scale.

Weather radar measures the level precipitation (rain, sleet, hail, snow) by the strength of the radar return. In the top picture, the yellow return is 35dB while the deep purple is 55dB. This means that the signal return from the deep purple is 200 times the signal return.

I do not know what a return of 35dB translates to in terms of rain rate.
